Hot To Trot?

Climatologists have noted that, in 2021, circa 400 weather stations, around the world, beat their all-time record temperatures (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/07/heat-records-broken-all-around-the-world-in-2021-says-climatologist). Weather station records are reliably accurate. Places with extreme (for the location) temperatures, included Lytton Canada; Furnace Creek USA; Canefield Dominica; Sidi Slimane Morocco; Kairouan Tunisia; Syracuse Italy; Cizre Turkey; Swiehan UAE; Joba Oman and Taimali Taiwan. The climatologists also noted that the last 6 years have globally been the hottest on record. The world's population can't fail to notice that extreme temperatures are a fact of life everywhere. They are not simply a 'blip'. Some of the record temperatures are life-threatening for humans and other organisms.
